How to survive the flight to Timika?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Timika in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Timika?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Timika in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
